Default Kickstand leaning thread

Do they makea kickstand that will cause a bike to lean at a more extreme angle? I don't mean just a shorter shaft for lowered bikes. I'm talking lay that bikemore over on its side but yet keeping it securely off the painted parts? Years ago I saw a custom bike at Laconiathat was leaning more over on its kickstand than was even near normal and it looked awesome.

Thanks

I put 4" over stock forks on my Dyna and that made the bike lean a lot more on the kickstand. Also gave me more ground clearance over speed bumps.

You can get a lower kickstand from JP Cycles to make it lean more , my was lowered 1.5"on the back and my bike stand straight up, it doesn't matter which kickstand I put on .

I would be concerned about having the bike leaning at more of an angle - that would put more stress on the stand and pose a bigger risk of sinking into asphalt, etc. Probably not a good way to keep the shiny parts shiny IMHO.

Here is a picture of how much my bike leans from putting on 4" extended forks.

Thanks guys..I just got my wide glide front end on today, and am going to lower the bike next. I am then going to just put on an Arlen Ness frame mounted kickstand.
